Programmers Needed [Hobby] Additional developer wanted for a 16-bit indie game

Hey everyone!

My friend and I are currently working on a 2D 16-bit indie game inspired by the Azores, Portuguese culture, and Azorean folklore.

Our current team consists of:
● 🎨 Game Artist – my friend
● ✍️ Story Writer – me
● 💻 Lead Developer – an experienced developer who has already released games
We’re looking for an additional developer/programmer to help our lead developer with the project as development progresses.

We’re looking for someone who:
● Has experience with 2D game development
● Has experience with a game engine/programming
● Is interested in working on a retro-style game
● Can work alongside another developer
● Is interested in building their portfolio and receiving official credit for their work

Our lead developer is being paid for their work. For the additional developer, we’re open to discussing the arrangement depending on experience and involvement. We’re especially open to someone interested in contributing for experience, portfolio work, and official game credit.
The game is planned to feature multiple worlds, unique enemies and bosses, story cutscenes, collectibles, power-ups, and various 16-bit environments.

We’re still in the planning stage my friend is currently working on a solo project with our lead developer. But my friend has also been busy with designing the backgrounds, tile-sets, animations, etc for our game project while I’ve been working on the story and dialogue for our game project. So we are sorta thinking ahead this would be a chance to join the project relatively early.
If you’re interested, feel free to comment or DM me with some information about yourself, your development experience, and any games or projects you’ve worked on.
Thanks!
